Brandon Wicks and the Bull Elk That Almost Got Away

The weather was super, super hot, and the elk weren’t bugling. I was hunting over a spring, and I found a spot that would provide cover for me if an elk came in to drink. Many times when I'm hunting over springs, the elk don’t come in to water until just before dark. However, I always try to go in early to the spot I'm planning to hunt, because I don’t want to spook any

Brandon Wicks Helps His Dad Take a Bull Elk

In 2015, we were hunting the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. Dad had been putting in for 13 or 14 years before he drew a tag for this hunt. I knew this area, because I had hunted this region before. This area was also closer to my home than some of the regions. So, I knew I would have more time to scout than I would if Dad was hunting another area farther away from my

One of Brandon Wicks's Most Memorable Elk Hunts

I've guided quite a few clients to bulls that would score 340 to 350 inches, but I never will forget a hunter from back east. He was 73 years old, and he was hunting with a rifle. He had never taken an elk before. So, I took him into an area that I knew would be a good place for us to hunt, and it wouldn’t be too physically exerting. We were going to a

Brandon Wicks’s Biggest Mule Deer Ever

I go to Wyoming fishing. I wanted to hunt mule deer in Wyoming, but I had been guiding so much that I hadn’t had a chance to go to Wyoming and hunt for myself. 2016 was the only time in 10 years that I was able to make a mule deer hunt in Wyoming. When I drew my tag, I knew I’d be hunting in a really good unit.

Mark Hanson’s Best Coues Deer

The biggest Coues (whitetail) buck I've ever taken was a buck that scored 90 inches. I grew up back in the East, and I was well acquainted with hunting whitetails from a tree stand. Especially in the early archery season, I prefer to hunt from a tree stand. On this day, I was about 30 minutes late leaving town for my hunt. Once I reached the area I planned to hunt, I knew I had

Mark Hanson’s Biggest Muley

Just as the sun was starting to go down in the evening, I had 14 mule deer below me, including two, small 4-pointers and one bigger buck with heavy horns. I shot the 3x5 with my bow. The time was late when I got him out of the mountains and back to camp.

Food Plot Preparation: Plan Ahead for Success

Late July and August can be a very busy month for wildlife management chores. Dove season is right around the corner as well as archery season for deer. Formulating a plan this time of year on what, when, and where you are going to plant cool season plots can save time and frustration.

An Elk for Henry

I wanted to help Henry look for a bull and call one in for him. Henry was fairly new to elk hunting, and was even less experienced in archery hunting for elk. Henry wasn’t particular about having to take a monster bull. I knew some smaller bulls were in the area where I’d taken my bull elk six days earlier. As soon as we reached the place where I’d taken my elk, I started cow

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
